From the Chair

Anil Gupta Engineer
President of Foundation

ith immense pleasure I present to

you the annual report of the
Human Welfare Foundation,
Gurgaon for the period 1.1.2013 to 31.12.2013.
Prior to this we had also produced BI Annual
New Letter for the period January 2011 to
December 2012. In this context I would like to
add here that although we had been working in
the field of social activities since the year 1996
but we could not produce previous reports
pertaining to the period 1996 to 2010 due to
unavoidable Circumstances. Therefore this
report is an account of our activities for the last
year ending December, 2013.
Initially Human Welfare Foundation was
started with the limited financial resources of
the President and General Secretary. Later on we
discussed the matter amongst us to enhance the
activities of the Foundation at national level as
well international level. In the process, in order
to move ahead in our stipulated vision, we felt
the necessity of a registered body and as such
we got it registered under Societies Act, 1860
and also felt the necessity to raise funds through
voluntary donations.
After all, it is up to us to build a better
tomorrow for Children residing in rural areas of
our country. It has been our experiences that the

Children of the poor sections of the Society

residing in villages possesses intellectual
qualities and also other qualities necessary for
their all-round development but due to lack of
guidance in the field of education and lack of
awareness in the areas of social field in the
existing and prevailing circumstances, they are
not able to face competitive examinations of the
present day life with the result they are lagging
behind and children of the urban areas lesser in
numbers get better opportunities. So we are
committed to build a better tomorrow for the
children of this poor section of society residing in
villages in order to achieve the main objective of
the Foundation. It has always been our effort to
build a better tomorrow for the poor and
neglected children of the rural villages and to
strive all out efforts to mobilize all resources in
this directions.

How we have developed the concept of

Library at the Basic Education Centres.

The President and the Secretary visited

their native place village Baskripal Nagar Distt.
Alwar, Rajasthan and met the Principal of the Sr.
Secondary school, the Head mistress of the Girl's
Middle School and visited other Primary and
Private Schools of the village. The Headmistress

of the Girls' Middle School informed us that

there was no facility of Library and daily
newspaper for the girls. We promised to start a
Library and also a daily Hindi newspaper with
immediate effect. Further we also observed that
village children are not aware about books and
development taking place in the world.

Sh. R .C Gupta (General Secretary), Mrs. Uma Kansal

(Project Coordinator) and Mrs.Jyoti Shekhawat (Library
Coordinator) clarifying doubts of Children Participating
in Scholarship Test Conducted by HWFG.

The main aim and purpose of opening

Library at the Education Centre's is to create
awareness about the development taking place
around the world and to cultivate the habit of
reading books of different subjects written by
prominent authors among the children of the
rural areas. Apart from this the idea behind to
open library is to create social atmosphere
amongst children as well as exchange ideas and
creative discussion on different subjects of their
taste among children.

Water harvesting and its importance in the present context

where water would certainly be a scarcity in future.
Anil Gupta Engineer, President, HWFG

ater harvesting is an old concept and

it has been in practice for a long
period. We have seen many
illustrations of such good concept of
replenishing our ground water resources in our
ancient civilizations. But now a days it has been
revived due to excessive use of water by human
beings in construction activities water level has
gone down drastically and we have been facing
danger of water scarcity .We have been moving
ahead with excessive use of water without
understanding the negative side of it .
Water resources which were once
considered to be renewable are diminishing
rapidly. Water level has been continuously
declining and all water resources whether river,
canal, pond or tube wells all have been facing the
onslaught of Human beings. Water shortage
leads to long queues and street squabbles with
people's patience running out.
Lakes which were built by our forefathers
and earlier lakes were considered to be lifeline of
city now have lost lusture. These lakes had been
serving daily needs of water requirement and all
these lakes need to be recharged for
replenishment of groundwater the lakes.
Concrete buildings and waste material
have taken the place of the shrinking water
bodies. Sports and business complexes are being
planned in place of the retreating water bodies
without giving a thought to the consequences
on environment.
Scarcity of water has led to the digging of
tube wells in every plot of the newlyconstructed colonies. This has further
aggravated the problem with the fall of the
water level. The lakes need to be cleaned and desilted regularly. This rainwater if tapped, by
every household can end the water crisis. If
people build large underground water storage

tanks, to harvest rainwater it could also recharge

groundwater. If someone using groundwater
does not recharge it, he must be held liable and
should be punished by the municipality or water
management board.
Water management demands sincere
planning and well-coordinated efforts. There is a
need for formation of separate water
committees independent of government
interference, manned by professionals having
vast experience in water infrastructure and
water conservation to guide Resident Welfare
associations and village panchayats.
A ban needs to be imposed on new tube
wells and if it is implemented with firm hand by
government it can lead to make a vital difference
to groundwater recharge.Licenses need to be
made compulsory for every well digger. The
imposition of high water charges could be a
viable solution for discouraging the misuse of
water. Water charges need to be imposed on
volumetric use of water with the metering of all
water supply points. There should be use of
sprinkler and drip irrigation in all the gardens
maintained by private societies besides
government gardens. Now time has come for
general public to showcase an example of water
harvesting in each societies. This showcase shall
be for government.A ban needs to be imposed
on building activities in lakes.
Water from Rooftop should be utilized in
water harvesting and it should be made
compulsory for getting house registered. Town
and country planning department must be given
powers to give registration of colonies which
have been using the water harvesting system
and vice versa.
Plantation habits should be developed in
every citizen in order to have affirmative impacts
on environment.

Note : People's participation in an initiative is

the need of hour to ensure its success for its
successful implementation.

Project Summary
In fact we have adopted Samaspur Village,
Gurgaon where Basic Education Centre has been
running by the foundation.Children getting basic
school education as well as moral education
from this centre have migrated from different
places and remote areas and villages of different
states i.e. Bihar, Bengal,Orissa,U.P, Uttra khand
and Rajasthan etc to earn their livelihood.

impart good quality education to his children.

Mr.Ramesh migrated from M.P ( Madhya
Pradesh) and is living with his family in a single
room on rent. Pratibha and her sister and two
brothers express openly that they do not
understand English. The names of children from
other families which we have identified are
Lalita, Sushmita and Vimal Yadav.

Although three years is not sufficient to

change the society, the interaction with the
children and their families have helped them to
come forward and discussed openly with us.It is
an achievement of the foundation and in the
progress we also shared our views and thoughts
with local residents of the village Samaspur,
Gurgaon.Keeping in view the foundation will
continue to make all out efforts to achieve all
round development of the village children.

General Secretary,

CASE STUDY
Village: Samaspur, District: Gurgaon,
State: Haryana, Country : India
At basic Education centre, Human Welfare
Foundation , Gurgaon, we have identified four
families and found that all these four families
have been migrated in Gurgaon in search of their
livelihood. Since cost of education in private
institutions/schools/colleges is exorbitant so
children of these families are getting education
in centres run by societies.
Pratibha : She is a student of our basic Education
Centre, Gurgaon. She has one sister and two
brothers. All of them come to our centre
regularly to attend classes on Saturday and
Sunday. Her father is an electrician and works
like daily wage worker. It is difficult for him to

EDUCATION THE ENIGMA

by Mr. Ernest Fantome

e all feel so
ennabled when
confronted with
the occasion to discuss or talk
about Education. First let me
share a joke sent to me by a
friend on whattsapp. It is about this student in Bihar
who goes to this university to fill up his form for
admission to an M.B.A. course. He nervously asked
the chowkidar about the merit of the Institution and
the course he was about to signup for. The
Chowkidar promptly replied 'BahutBahriya! Ham Bhi

M.B.A. yahin se keyehain! so much for pieces of

paper called Degrees for which young people strive
and struggle. So what went wrong? After wasting
fifteen sixteen years of mugging and shelling out
thousands of hardearned rupees the education we
received did not live up to its Promises?
History is replete with examples of School Drop outs
who were geniuses right form Einstein, Newton, Bill
Gates and SteveJobsh all of whom felt disillusioned
with 'Education' and the way it is imparted, and went
on a blaze their own trails thankfully for the world.

Sounds cynical, doesn't it? But then the first job of

knowledge is to reveal the truth! If a little knowledge
is a dangerous thing- no knowledge or ignorance is
even worse and the sole purpose of education is to
impart knowledge. Knowledge to help us find
ourselves and our talent, skills and God given
charisma. Once education does this the individual
grows and blooms to be what the Master wanted him
to Be. Let our objective be to this end alone to
facilitate the seeker find himself/herself and grow to
be as the Divine Master wants them, contributing to
society in the way , Master wants them. Dignity of
Labour is the first step and all else will be taken care
of.

Tapping the Potential of the Seeker of Knowledge

was still a futuristic concept and then got lost sight of
when the rat race began and education began to be
seen as a Profitable Business-Proposition and
Technical Education Institutes began to mushroom
right from fat capitation fees paid for seats in Premier
Medical colleges to donations to IIMS and IITS for
courses of choice a price was put on Quality
